Potential Residents

When can I move into my new apartment?

You can move into your new apartment after you have completed the application process, paid your deposit in full and have been contacted by your leasing agent to verify approval of your application. Your leasing agent will give you a tentative date for move in. This date can change but we always try our best to have the unit available before the tentative move in date.

How much is the application fee and is it refundable?

The application fee is $40 and it is non refundable.

Can I be approved with bad credit?

We look very close at your credit in evaluating your application. It is possible that you can get approval but we may require a cosigner or additional deposit.

What is your pet policy?

Many of our properties allow pets, though we do have some that do not. Also, if your apartment has had new carpet installed recently, pets are not allowed. All dogs must be spayed or neutered, current on shots (must supply record to leasing agent at time of application) and under 70 lbs in weight. We do not allow Pit Bulls, Rottweilers or German Shepherds.

There is a $150 non-refundable pet fee as well as a $150 refundable pet deposit per pet.
